  • Fall 2016 1 Chief’S Message
    Report to the Community Fall 2016 1 Chief’s Message As Fire Chief of the Albany Fire Department, it is my honor to present the Albany Fire Department’s Report to the Community. In our response to emergencies and our provision of health, safety and emergency services to the community, the department continues to exemplify the excellence and professionalism Albany has come to expect. Although you probably know us as the “fire department,” this by no means reflects the many ways our department serves the community every day. The Albany Fire Department not only responds to fires, but also provides the necessary training to respond to a multitude of emergencies. We also provide emergency medical services including transport, hazardous material response, and technical rescues for vehicle accidents and water rescue. Thanks in great part to the success of our Fire Prevention program, emergency medical calls now account for a majority of our workload. As we move forward into 2017 and beyond, we continue to emphasize training and best practices in everything we do to keep Albany safe. I would like to thank the Mayor, the City Council and the City Manager Mission for their support throughout some tough years, and for their support and vision for AFD’s continued growth and change. The Albany Fire Department enhances the quality of life and the environment by providing fire prevention and suppression, The future of the Albany Fire Department looks tremendous. It is my emergency medical services, public education and emergency honor to be a part of this department and its long, rich history and preparedness.

  • 2000 Hate Crime Statistics
    terilized from emotion, hate crime, also called bias crime, is those offenses motivated in part or singularly by personal prejudice against others because of a diversity—race, sexual orientation, Sreligion, ethnicity/national origin, or disability. The FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program’s responsibility regarding hate crime is to provide a reliable set of statistics through the Hate Crime Data Collection Program. Through this program, law enforcement agencies nationwide voluntar- ily submit data about hate crimes within their jurisdictions (i.e., the number of incidents, offenses, victims, and offenders) for publication in the annual report, Hate Crime Statistics. Though law enforce- ment agencies need only report data for one month of a year to be included in this publication, most agencies that participate in the Program submit four quarters of data. In 2000, a total of 91.9 percent of all contributing agencies submitted four quarters of data. All data reported by law enforcement agencies are presented in this publication, free of the nuances that many factions of society impose upon the subject. The uses for hate crime data vary widely among the different sectors of society. The statistics may assist law enforcement agencies in addressing potentially problematic issues for their particular locales or provide lawmakers with justification for certain legislation. The data may supply the media with credible information or simply show hate crime victims that they are not alone. Analyses of these data can also aid researchers in determining trends in hate crimes. Whatever the use of the statistics may be, the goal of this publication is to enable these data users to create an awareness about hate crime and advance the study of this complex facet of crime.

Creative workers like actors, producers, and writers come to L.A. to pursue dreams of stardom, especially in the Hollywood film and television media industries. For most, a “big break” into their chosen field remains perpetually out of reach despite their constant efforts. Expensive workshops like acting classes, networking events, and chance encounters are seen as keys to Hollywood success. Within this world, rumors swirl of big breaks for devotees in the city’s spiritual and religious organizations. For others, it is in consultations with local spiritual advisors like professional psychics that they navigate everyday decisions of how to achieve success in Hollywood.

This is the first Annual Report produced by our department in many years. We felt that it was important to bring this back to illustrate just how our department works. In 2008, RVFD entered a new chapter in its history. After the devastating floods of December, 2005, and moving into “temporary” trailers behind our uninhabitable fire station, 2008 saw the beginning of the reconstruction and remodel of Station 19. The department is excited at the prospect of moving back into the Station. The addition of new office space, dorms, shop, and storage space will assist the department in moving forward. In January, another series of storms battered our jurisdiction which brought us dangerously close to flooding once again.
